5 Facts About… Chardonnay

Tuesday, August 14th, 2012

This month it’s all about Chardonnay! Most would agree that Chardonnay is the world’s favorite wine – due both to its deliciousness and its versatility. Chardonnay can pair with a wide array of foods depending on the style (oaked/unoaked) and the region (old world/new world), and is equally enjoyable on its own. Great pairings to try include oysters with unoaked styles and oaked or earthy styles with trout, turkey or creamy seafood dishes like lobster mac and cheese.

The grape became a global phenomenon in the 1980′s. Because of its exploding popularity, many vineyards started planting Chardonnay vines for a guaranteed profit, especially in California. Thus solidifying it’s permanent place in wine history.

Check out these Five Fact About Chardonnay to learn more about how it became one of the most popular wines of all time!

The Chardonnay grape itself is very neutral. Many of the flavors commonly associated with the wine are actually derived from its terrior and oak influence.

Chardonnay is an important component of many sparkling wines around the world, including Champagne.

Chardonnay fruit is easy to cultivate, adaptable to different conditions, and ripens early.

Main regions that grow this widespread grape: France, Italy, California, New York, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa.

Contrary to the cheap, boxed versions we’ve seen, Chablis is actually a renowned sub-region in Burgundy, France that produces crisp, unoaked wines made from… you guessed it! Chardonnay.

Almost every Temecula Winery offers a great Chardonnay, of course! Here’s what we’re drinking for summer:
